[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] i.MX6 SABRESD improvements (using a Freescale kernel)

[Luca Ceresoli]

Hi,

here are 2 little improvements to the i.MX6 SABRESD board support in Buildroot,
both suggested by Thomas Petazzoni in [1].

This differs from the patchest I sent earlier today [2] in the kernel origin:
keep using git.freescale.com instead of switching to a mainline kernel, as
per the discussion in [2].

Nothing huge, just see the changelog below.

Built and run on an i.MX6DL SABRESD board.

Vincent, it would be nice if you could test it on a Quad-based board.

  freescale/imx6-sabresd: use global patch dir for U-Boot patches
  freescale/imx6-sabresd: lock down kernel headers to the kernel version

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] freescale/imx6-sabresd: use global patch dir for U-Boot patches

[Luca Ceresoli]

The best practice is to use the BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR for patches against
U-Boot, not BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] freescale/imx6-sabresd: lock down kernel headers to the kernel version

[Luca Ceresoli]

The current defconfigs for iMX6 SABRESD kernel 3.10.17 from the Freescale
git repository. This kernel is older than the toolchain kernel headers
used in Buildroot (currently 3.16.3).

Explicitly lock down the kernel headers to match the version of the kernel
that is built.

Hi Luca,

I applied your two patches on top of 7989e05327903. I can build
freescale_imx6qsabresd_defconfig and run on a Sabre SD Quad with no issue.

  Tested-by: Vincent Stehl? <vincent.stehle@freescale.com>

Best regards,

V.
